My calls are filled with static, and it drops packets like crazy. When I reset both modem and router, it works for about 10 minutes, then Voip is bad again, plus my internet connection slows to an absolute crawl.

Recently Vonage support activated line 2 on my router, and that worked for about 2 days before dying too.

This is really sad, I had to buy 2 new wireless home phones per Vonage support (using different frequency) which didn't help anyway, I had to shut off the Linksys wireless feature so my PC's have to be wired now, and still my Vonage service is awful. I cannot cancel for 2 more months so am stuck.

Could it be my cable modem doesn't work well with the newer router? Are they losing sync? Am I losing sync? Is my sync clogged???

I am wondering if the firmware in my modem is out of date? I just replaced the new Linksys with an older Linksys wired router for my network, and it fixes the slow internet problem (but it doesn't have Voip so can't test that).

That test is important. Check and see if you have the latest version of Java on your system. If that's not it and you can't get the test to run, do one at www.testyourvoip.com (test call to Boston). By the way, you don't have to have a Vonage adapter in your system to run these tests. They test the quality of your internet service to support Voip, and they should run even if you have no Voip provider.

What firmware are you running on the WRTP54G? Has the Vonage setup been working properly prior to this, or is this a new installation?
